We are one of the offices in the San Joaquin County that use digital x-rays. Digital x-rays save time as images are directly processed into the computer for direct results and viewing. It also transmits up to 50-60% less radiation as compared to conventional x-rays. Since there are no chemicals used, it is also environmentally friendly. We also use intra-oral cameras to better visualize problem areas in the mouth.

Restorative, Endodontics, Prosthodontics, and Orthodontics

You don't have to live with your "silver" amalgam fillings anymore. Advances in composite resin materials enable us to match fillings to the natural color of your teeth. These "white" fillings can be as strong as amalgam fillings.

For major restorations, we offer metal-free crowns and bridges, in addition to the regular, porcelain-fused-to-metal versions. For an even aesthetically better smile, we offer porcelain veneers, which have been used in dentistry for many years now, but have gained more public attention due to reality-based, "make-over" television shows.

Saving your natural teeth is our priority. In order to achieve that, root canal therapy may be one of the options.

If you wear removable dentures, we can improve them with our personalized, removable dentures in which we use more natural-looking teeth, is flexible (available on partial dentures), and metal-free. If you want a fixed denture, then implants could be a possibility. We will work with your implant specialists to improve your smile.

Many of us desire straight teeth. We work with several orthodontists in the area to achieve your desired smile. If you are one of those who don't like the look of traditional wire braces, Invisalign might be for you. It is a clear alternative to braces which uses a series of clear aligners the are custom-fitted for you.

Preventive

Having good dental personal hygiene is very important. If you brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day, then you are on the right track. However, regular visits to your dentist are still highly recommended. Cleaning done by trained professionals, such as dentists and hygienists, will ensure that tartar build-up that you have not removed is taken care of.

Wear and tear is inevitable as far as our teeth are concerned since we constantly use them. There could be lurking problems that only a dental examination can uncover.

This is a dental procedure where we use a thin layer of porcelain laminated directly to your teeth, giving you an overall "smile-lift" and a whole new improved look that will last for years! We proudly offer Lumineers by Cerinate.

1-Hour Teeth Whitening

Patients who have had the whitening procedure report that their whiter, brighter smile boosted their self-confidence, improved their looks, and made them feel better about themselves. Tooth whitening has become one of the most requested dental procedures. As people age, their teeth tend to darken and yellow, particularly if they use tobacco, drink coffee, red wine or tea, or take certain medications. This process is nearly impossible to reverse without professional help. Our offices decided to offer the LumaArch Bleaching System, which represents a breakthrough in tooth whitening technology. Instead of spending at least 2 hours each day, for two weeks, using take-home or over-the-counter teeth whitening products, the LumaArch process uses a special light to activate the whitening solution. The procedure has been thoroughly studied and safety-tested. The entire process is supervised by the dentist and a qualified staff member and takes only about 1 hour. With your busy schedule, think about the time you save!
